Periodical Index - Tortoises

A guide to testudinate chelonian articles appearing in herpetogical periodicals over the past few years


Key

CCB = Chelonian Conservation and Biology

Quarterly or biannual publication published by the Chelonian Research Foundation, fairly weighty, going back to about 1994. 

CHE = Chéloniens

French magazine dedicated to chelonians, first published in spring 2006: issued three times a year.

D=Draco

Quarterly herpetological magazine from the German Natur und Tier Verlag that usually focuses on a theme, eg agamid lizards or desert herpetofauna

E = Elaphe

German publication from the DGHT: focuses on captive husbandry and reproduction of reptiles and amphibians.

IR = International Reptilian

European magazine, published in UK. It may alternatively be known as the Reptilian, but we have kept the IR abbreviation to distinguish it from Reptilia and Reptiles.

PR = Pet Reptile

European magazine, published in UK. Slightly more "entry level" but contains some good articles. Wound up in 2001.

PRK = Practile Reptile Keeping

UK magazine first appearing in 2009, edited by David Alderton. Like most magazines with "Reptile" in the title, also covers amphibians and invertebrates.

R = Reptilia

European magazine, published in Spain but produced in English, German and Spanish.

RAD=Radiata

Journal of the DGHT's Chelonian Group: focuses on all aspects of chelonians, including husbandry and conservation. Available in both Germa and English.

RH = Reptile Hobbyist

US magazine published by TFH. Merged with R&A to become R&AH (see below).

Rs = Reptiles

US magazine which bought out Vivarium. Despite the title, covers amphibians and invertebrates too. So far we have not added any articles from the magazine.

R&A = Reptile & Amphibian Magazine

Now sadly defunct, although back copies may be available at herp exhibitions, etc. For some years this was practically the only herp magazine for most non-scientific folk.

R&AH = Reptile & Amphibian Hobbyist

Formed out of the merger of Reptile Hobbyist and Reptile & Amphibian Magazine: last issue November 2001

S = Salamandra

German magazine published by the DGHT (German Herptological Association) in English and German. So far we have not added any articles from the magazine. The DGHT also publishes magazines for each of their specialist groups, eg Radiata (tortoises), Lacerta (lacertid lizards), etc. From 2005 Salamandra will be published in both English and German.

Si = Situla

French-language herpetological magazine, also covering invertebrates

StF = Schildkröten im Fokus

German-language magazine covering chelonians. Appears 3-4 times per year. First published 2004.

Ta = Terarista

Czech herpetological magazine, published by the Terrarium Society of Prague in Czech with good English summaries

Tx = Trionyx

Dutch-language magazine published by the Nederlandse Schildpadden Vereniging [Dutch Turtle Assocation]

V = Vivarium

Magazine associated with Advanced Herpetological Library and Philippe de Vosjoli. Bought out by Reptiles around about the turn of the century.
